CVS-Week 1

CVS-Week 1I'm all flushed from my very first trip to CVS to work the extra care bucks program. There is still alot I need to learn, honestly and shamedly this is the first time I've EVER USED coupons!!! I am a pretty cheap person but I've just never quite grasped the concept. I'm still working on it as you will see below from the breakdown. Most of the stuff I normally wouldn't buy but I can use; the baby stuff will be given to my niece for her twins. We were able to start out this week as we amassed enough leftovers from a banquet for work that we didn't need to grocery shop this week. So I spent a total of 67.97 and received 20 ECB so effectively I spent $47.97 and received the items below; without Sales I would have spent $110.33. Not too bad for a beginner but I want to work up to where we can get most everything for free like the other smarties that I read. Here is what I boughtDeal 1-Buy $25 in Baby Items get $10 ECBCVS-Baby Wipes Reg price 2.99 SALE 2.50CVS- Cotton Swap Reg Price 3.99 SALE 2.99(2) Huggies Jumbo Pack Reg Price 2@11.49 SALE 2@8.99JJ Shea Butter Baby Wash Reg Price 4.29 SALE 2.99I paid 26.46 without the sales it would have been 34.25

Deal 4-Gillette Fusion-Buy 1 Get 3 ECBGillette Fusion 9.99- plus 2 couponI paid 7.99 without coupons and sale would have been 9.99 razor If I had to do over I probably wouldn't have gotten this either.
